making our life count

Have you ever feel that there is something missing in your life?

There are so many things in the world that can fill that hole in our heart. Often, we chase after fame, riches or anything that can fill it. At the process of chasing it, you’ll feel fulfilled, as if you’ve accomplished something really great. But when it’s over, then the emptiness surfaces.

It occured to me last night, that I’ve lost my focus lately. I’ve been so into US Open since early september. Each morning I wake up, I want to know who gets into the next round, whose out and who is still surviving. I want to know the scores, the stats and read the comments of the players. But it’s been a week since everything is over. That hole that was once filled with chasing the stars in tennis is now getting deeper. And I realised that I’m left alone, lost and unfocused. 

I do not deny, throughout my teenage life, I’ve been chasing superstars, actors, singers, etc…it does make me feel good for a moment, making me feel as if I am appreciated by them being a fan. But honestly, do u really think they really know me, appreciate me? LOL!

But as I look back these few years when I’m filling my life with more of God, that hole never resurface until I begin to fill it with things not of God. I am thankful that I’ve found God before I am too old and realised that everything I’ve been chasing for is in vain. Only God can fill the hole in our heart. Only God can give us the security that we need, to comfort us in times of need and His love is able to fill us to the max!  

Passion World Tour KL

In the Passion World Tour that I attended last month, the focus was making our life count. Who are we making our life count for? Is it fame? Riches? Or Christ? Fame and riches is not eternal. It’ll one day be forgotten and lost. But the work that we do for God is eternal. Every action taken by obedience is like ripple affect, it will change the life of people around us and they will change life of others.

Last 2 months of holidays, God has been revealing bit by bit to me. And just last night, everything seems to fall into place. It’s amazing how sometimes God dont’ just throw you the big picture (incase you got scared) but He shows you a small part and as you are obedient, He’ll show you more of His plan. I wouldn’t say I know it all yet but one thing I’ve learnt is that He is faithful. His faithfulness does not depend on us - what we must do, what we musnt’ do,…etc. We don’t need to work extra hard so that He’ll hear us. Well, if we do, then grace won’t be needed. We are saved not by work, but by grace. We are able to receive all His promises not by achieving things and making ourself worthy, but we receive it when we accepted Christ as our Lord and Saviour. It’s free gift.

God is faithful. Period.
